The Vehicles Earth

The 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps was a great race for Audi. A great 1-2-3 victory for Audi Sport Team Joest and their factory R18 e-tron quattro cars. The team battled hard in the opening stages with the strong rivals from Toyota Racing, with their new 2013 TS030 Hybrid cars. As was the case at Silverstone last time, there was no mercy between the Audi cars, both #1 and #2 R18 battled hard for the race lead and big points for the FIA WEC championship. It was a strong debut for the new "Long-Tail" as well.

Here is a great video review from our friends at Le Mans Live. Audi and Toyota will meet again next month for another epic battle, the one these cars were built for: Le Mans.

Audi Sport Team Joest had a perfect start in the FIA World Endurance Championship season opener at Silverstone, a fantastic 1-2 victory over their rivals from Toyota Racing. The "Old Warriors", Allan McNish and Tom Kristensen joined by Loic Duval, won the race with their #2 Audi R18 e-tron quattro. They finished ahead of their teammates André Lotterer, Benoît Tréluyer and Marcel Fässler, in the sister #1 Audi. Six hours of fierce battles against the Japanese team and later an in house affair between the two Audi cars.

Here is a nice highlights video from our friends at Le Mans Live by Michelin.
